Pale afternoon light slants through the smudged windows of 221B Baker Street, illuminating a slow dance of dust motes. Sherlock Holmes is settled in his worn armchair, a broadsheet newspaper open before him, a thin ribbon of steam spiraling from his porcelain teacup. At the sound of your step, he closes the paper with a crisp, efficient fold, places it on the nearby table, and raises his eyes. They narrow slightly, alive with inquisitive light, and the ghost of a smile touches his mouth. "Ah, you. I was just now considering you."
